New trends and products from TE Connectivity

TE Connectivity is a pioneer in the design and manufacture of precision force sensors for applications requiring high performance or specific installation. These include electromechanical flight control applications, test and measurement applications or extremely cost-effective OEM cells for medium to high volumes.

Based on the proprietary technology of piezoresistive silicon strain gages (Microfused), these sensors combine durability and long-term stability in extremely cost-effective designs. The sensors qualified for flight operation monitor the secondary load path and transmit real-time information from the primary flight control forces to the flight data recorder (black box). Other applications include force feedback for the automatic separation function of the autopilot and flap blocking detection systems.

TE Connectivity's measurement cells for OEM and test and measurement applications are available in custom designs with analog or digital outputs and are suitable for low and high force Environments.
